Unfortunately this is still occurring after the 1.16 update, it appears to not be fixed.
Another update from me: I unlinked my PSN from my EA account and then linked my PSN account to a new EA account. I still cannot connect to F1 22 and continue to receive the "Communicating with Online Services..." message. I now cannot unlink my PSN from the new EA account for six months, so my advice is don't try that. I guess the problem is with my PSN account?
The only solution I've found was to create a new PSN and EA account, which in my opinion is a terrible solution given I've had my PSN account for 10+ years and don't want to switch to a new one just because I can't connect to EA's servers on this account for some odd reason.
At this point it's in EA's hands. I've tried everything else I can think of and just can't find a decent solution to fix this.
